    Info

    Volunteer-driven community food bank founded by Angela Torres in spring 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to support families in the Bronx. The operation began delivering fresh produce from Throggs Community Church, moved to a pop-up at First Schuyler Presbyterian Church, and established a permanent home at St. Benedict's Church. The alliance utilizes donations from local businesses to fight hunger and serves neighbors with dignity, compassion, and respect. In addition to the Throggs Neck location, they operate a second pantry site in Soundview and host community events beyond food distribution.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Eastchester Bay accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

  16. What kind of food do they have?

    Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  17. Do they have vegetables?

    Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Eastchester Bay do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.
